Wi-Fi And Cell Service Coming To All Underground Subway Stations By 2017

Wireless cellphone service and Wi-Fi are being installed at all of the borough’s 29 underground subway stations in the coming months, officials announced in part of the second phase of the MTA‘s plan to connect the city’s transit system. Transit Wireless, the company handling the project, said it will also bring service to 11 more stations in Midtown Manhattan, including Grand Central Terminal, 34th St. Herald Square and Bryant Park. Those stations and the Queens stations should all be equipped by June, the company said. They’ll join the 36 Manhattan stations that have already gone wireless. The company is planning to connect all of the city’s subways stations by 2017: LINK
